Tea tree oil and hyaluronic acid: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Apply hyaluronic acid first and tea tree oil later in the day, because strong essential oils can irritate freshly hydrated skin. Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into the skin, while strong tea tree oil can easily irritate that sensitive hydration barrier. The shopper can choose a gentler tea tree product with very low concentration or separate the two ingredients by several hours.
